Blackland Prairie Conservatory and Atelier, 9949 McCree Rd. 

Which City is the Wildest?
Cities around the world will compete on April 27 – 30, 2018 to see which urban area has the most nature and the most engaged residents! This City Nature Challenge will include more than 60 cities from 17 countries around the world including 7 metro areas here in Texas: Amarillo, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso, Houston, Lower Rio Grande Valley, and San Antonio.
If you live in or around one of these areas, show the world just how much nature we have here in Texas! Texas Parks and Wildlife, the Texas Master Naturalists, the Audubon Society, and many others in Texas will be joining this fun challenge. The data generated from this event will help researchers, land managers, and policy makers, so please participate! How will we measure up to other cities around the world?
Go to www.tpwd.texas.gov/naturechallenge or www.citynaturechallenge.comto watch the Texas leaderboard or learn more about how you can participate. You can also contact the Texas Nature Trackers program at tracker@tpwd.texas.gov with any questions. Let’s find some nature!

You might want to download the iNaturalist app before the event!

We are gathering at Blackland Prairie Conservatory & Atelier to help each other identify our fauna/flora and to celebrate citizen science! Reserving your spot will help us guesstimate numbers for ordering food and drinks.
